Be careful, Bananiot will be upset we noticed this Turkish misbehaviour.

...cigarette smugglers?

...whose country were they cheating of taxes?

if it's Turkey, you can expect this to be the rationalisation that dismisses the need for the Turkish Army to commit themselves to an investigation of their undisciplined actions; they punished criminals (and they were "Kurds") who deserve this treatment.

...the anger will be swift, so too the reaction, and thus, there will be more deaths.

...i remember Solomou.
